I think they are playing it sensibly to be honest. Low risk rugby worked most of the time for Wigan with Maguire in charge. It worked for Leeds in the semi final. It could work for them in the final as long as they can match Warrington in the forwards right until the end.

Frustrating isn't it? Pretty much identical incident with two vastly different outcomes. It's not like it's an offence that should be open to various interpretations either. A punch is a punch. McIlorum's red card was the wrong call, allowing the game to continue is the right call, although a sin bin would be fair enough too.

They have only run the ball once in their forty and scored. In this weather they were in two great positions to put extra points on and instead went for the safety of the two. Of course they could still win it, but Wire will score in the 2nd half, Leeds need to start scoring some tries as well.

| Told you.
Still enough time for 'Sir Kev' to punt over a conversion or two though.

| Better team won, but should have had a man sent off if there's any consistency.
Lee Briers getting a bit carried away saying the current Warrington team 'aren't far off' the Wigan challenge cup team.

Damn...if only they had won that pesky quarter final last year!

To be fair in the second half Leeds stopped playing sensibly and started giving away penalties. Then were hard done to with the try ruled out after Leuluai's hit but they just failed to respond to that setback. It seemed like they were focused on getting the next try and it being a crucial one and when it was ruled out their heads seemed to drop.
I also thought Jonathan Davies was spot on when he was talking about Leeds only having one option as a kicker. Sinfield was closed down far too easily.
Not a surprising outcome though. Warrington had the better players and the better team. When everyone is at the top of their game then Warrington have the best team in the league this year.

He didn't say that, what he said was "we've a long way to go to get to that level"
which I thought was the correct and proffesional way to answer the question.

Exactly why I've been avoiding RLFANS for the last 24 hours.
Just enjoy the win but accept you're no where near the level of Wigan's success.
Right, I'm logging out for another 24 hours before I see an attempt of Chris Riley being compared to Martin Offiah.

So if you're an eighteen year old Wire fan born in 1994, you have to eat humble pie in the presence of the main Pies because of stuff that happened either before you were born or when you were a kid? We acknowledge Wigan's history but too many Pies can't accept that Warrington themselves are now a very fine team and their fans are entitled to shout about it.

To be fair its not exactly unreasonable for a Wigan fan to say that you are not as good as that Wigan team when you havent even won a league?
